"I Have a Dream..." Celebrating MLK Day!

Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader that changed the world for better. This week we have focused on Dr. King's legacy of tolerance, equality and respect. 

When reading about Martin Luther King Jr., children were shocked with how unfair those times used to be. "That is so bad teacher!!" They had a hard time understanding why people were treated differently because of the color of their skin.    


Students completed a science activity where they examined a white and brown egg. Then they cracked the egg to see if there were any differences on the inside. In conclusion students found that no matter what color you are on the outside, we are all the same on the inside. <3 







We also completed various math and language arts activities. Click here to purchase this wonderful resource!

Christmas Patterns







Christmas Time!


You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why
Santa Clause is coming to IVY! 

Children were beyond excited for Santa Clause to come to our school. They anxiously waited by the windows to see if they could spot his sleigh and listened quietly for his sleigh to land on the roof. Once Santa did arrive students were jumping up and down with joy.
